25+ “Journey Together” Cards Revealed, Some Cards to Be Cut from English Set

By: Water Pokémon Master · Posted Posted onFeb 14, 2025 at 9:28 AM · 15 Comments

TPCi’s European branch has sent Journey Together card images to various international gaming outlets, including Daily Star, JournalduGeek, Pokebip, Bisafans, Multiplayer, Ilfattoquotidiano, Tgcom24, and Smartworld.

The card numbers reveal that our English set will be what we expected: it will combine the cards from Japan’s Battle Partners set as well as the leftover ~50 cards from November’s ex Starter Deck Generations.

Based on the card numbers, Koraidon ex and Zacian ex from ex Starter Deck Generations will be cut from our English set and likely turned into promos. They may be featured in the next set of ex tins.

As posted before, our Journey Together set will release on March 28th.

It seems like the cut cards are actually Xerneas ex, Koraidon ex, and Dialga ex, while we are getting 4 Black Belt's Practice in the set (unless the trainers have weird names). I have my own setlist made lol
 
Do we have any idea if/when we are getting the tapu koko ex or blaziken ex from the Japan starter decks?

It makes no sense to have 4 Black Belts based on numberings we know. The more likely it's that we are only getting 2 of each Black Belt and Professor. Xerneas and Dialga were already out since they're in the Azure Legends tins.

I just discovered the tins... thank you for that info. As for the numbering, the 2 important cards to look at are Hop's Dubwool and Brock's Scouting. Hop's Dubwool is #136. Looking at the cards that come after that, Cramorant or Hop's Cramorant is #137, the other one is #138, Lechonk is #139, Oinkologne is #140, and Squawkabilly is #141. That ends the pokemon. As for the names of the trainers, some could be translated differently, but most of the trainers are places or actual trainer names, so we know where those will fit. I forgot about gym promos being added into the set, so I'll concede that the number of Black belts will be wrong as Billy & O'Nare will most likely be added into the set as #142. Then, there is Black Belt's Practice from #143-145 allowing Brock's Scouting to be #146 as revealed. Everything else from Battle Partners fits into the rest of the set afterwards, allowing space for one Professor's Research. If I missed anything, please let me know.
 
If they're mixing Start Deck Generations cards with Battle Partners, Journey Together will have cards with differing regulation marks (H and I). Have this ever happened before?

Brilliant stars had different regulation marks, probably there's more examples

You right.... however, the scale is way different than with BRS. That was 16/172 were E regulation in a F regulation set.... This is more than 50/159 H regulation in an I regulation set... which is insane imo. I do think that Brilliant Stars was the only one. They were trying to finish off the battle academy cards, which is also what made Fusion Strike such a bloated set.
 
Is there a precedent for reprinting a card twice in the same generation? I know Arven was reprinted in Obsidian Flames but I really hope we get that card again in JT.
